At the same time, it will be provided that they learn the language of our country by receiving language courses at certain times of the day as well as givin opportunity for teaching their own language to us. However, ease of learning will be provided them for knowing our country and culture at vacation times out of the service hours. For example, city transportation will be made easier for this purpose. Contracted places will be arranged where they can eat, a list will be prepared about principal important places where he/she have to visit and see, national nights will be conducted in order that they can present their countries and opportunity will be provided them for expressing their own culture. Any volunteer will be commissioned for providing support service in our foundation. He/she will sidplay that the projects we formed are international, not only national, harmonious studies could be performed together with different cultures, and new countries, new cultures and friendships can be established by means of these studies. In brief, while a volunteer is included in our projects as a representative of our culture, he/she will also be the reflection of our culture in his/her country. It will be provided that volunteers will be informed and make commands about this plan by sending an activity program before coming to the project.

VOLUNTEER'S PROFILE
Because volunteers included in the projects that our trust will conduct would participate in studies on the fields of education and health, they need to make collective studies with people from all age groups. Therefore, being a volunteer in our studies will be extremely joyous and successful process for patient and sincere participants. Besides, if we also consider the cultural and historical richness of our country, it will have a character of educational activity for people with desire of investigation and learning at the same time. In our projects, for which young people between 18-30 years of age can apply as volunteers, the main principle is to provide that volunteer concept is learnt thoroughly both by volunteer and locally living youth.

OST ORGANISATION
Güven Foundation of Education and Health aims to be closely involved on national and international platforms which will make young people qualified and help them to direct themselves correctly. Thanks to this, it will provide both the continuous development of its organizational structure and will attain a robust understructure that can support interventions of young people by gathering its own experience and young generation and their opinions within a common denominator. It is aimed that participation of youth living in Europe into projects performed at the local level is obtained as well as participation of Turkish youth in the projects taking part in Europe, and introducing structure and culture of our country in European countries as well as reflecting the experience obtained on areas of establishing and executing projects by these means. In order to select young people from all parts of the community, who will form the understructure of our projects, introductory studies that will cause great repercussions will be made. Together with them, the priority mission that we take on as a sender organization provides participation of youth having limited opportunities, handicaps and disadvantages. In order that planned studies proceed in a healthy way and not experiencing any organizational problems while proceeding in line with this target, we will employ responsible persons within our body for the European Voluntary Service and start this project with any kind of institutions provided that these would be confidence-based. As a requirement of the name of our trust we will be the entrepreneur for a number of projects on the field of education and health, and will support the activities for making the existing projects widespread also by participation for the present projects.
